The Robin Hood taxVolitility, or frequent up or down changes in stock prices, adversely affects, almost every individual who has money invested on Wall Street. This small tax on each transaction would both raise as much as three hundred and fifty billion dollars in new revenue AND make hedge fund managers and others think twice before they manipulate security deals.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Frank Baumgardner

Student Pilots at Gillespie Field Threaten Our Safety, Health and Quality of LifeMany residents around Gillespie Field bought their homes when it was a small general aviation field for small private aircraft. But recently, it has experienced a rapid increase in flight schools, been designated a “reliever airport” for San Diego International Airport, and acquired more land for expansion. Each year, over 200,000 operations (take-offs and landings) are conducted, most of which are circular training patterns over homes, schools, and businesses. If forecasts are correct, current growth plans predict operations will nearly double—up to 400,000 annually.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ASAP-Advocates for Safe Airport Policies

Crimes commited in Habitat for Humanity HousesHabitat has some explaining to do: A murder occurred at 174 Ephriam Street, Santa Fe, NM, 87501, on 3/11-12/12, where (C0-Owner & Criminal - Sam Leyba) was aiding/abetting and harboring a felon, as well as, stolen items from four different local burglaries that were found in his home upon his arrest, along with Jewelry from another recent Murder that was committed in February during a home invasion robbery. Leyba is presently in jail and is allowing his criminal family members stay in this home. Surely this is not what Jimmy Carter intended when he created this program to help worthy and deserving families.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elle Wolfgang

Reform the Filibuster!Remember the days when we all knew who in the Senate was filibustering a bill to prevent or at least delay a vote? Senators had to stand in the well and speak until 60 other Senators had heard enough and voted to end the filibuster and vote. We citizens knew who was conducting the filibuster and could contact our own Senators to agree or disagree. Those were the good old days! Last sessions, a Senator needed only to sign a statement of intent to filibuster - a statement kept secret from the public - to prevent a bill, or a proposal, or even a nomination, from coming before the Senate for discussion and vote. We citizens were kept completely in the dark. No wonder we have so many vacant judicial positions, and have almost no information about our Senate. Let's return to the classic filibuster! We the people want and need to know what's going on in the Senate.105 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eileen Keim

Retake, Redraw and Restore DemocracyWhile most Americans weren't paying attention, the GOP has quietly been power grabbing by redrawing U.S. Congressional districts to favor Republicans into perpetuity, in a number of consequential states with Republican Governors and Republican led State Legislatures working hand in hand to manipulate and destroy our democracy. In the 2012 election Democrats running in the U.S. House of Representatives won 540,000 more votes than their Republican counter-parts did. Yet due to the crafty gerrymandering of electoral districts in states like Texas and Pennsylvania--we end up with the Republicans not only controlling the House and holding our entire economy hostage with threats of defaulting on the debt. Drunk with power and with the confidence that these manipulated districts will not be challenged--they are constantly holding your economic future and my economic future hostage. My forefathers worked hard to help create democracy in the United States of America. My father and several of my grandfathers fought hard in America's wars for the big idea that we have had that our Congress men and women and Senators are to be elected by a majority of voting Americans. The Republican Party has gone too far now. It is time for ALL OF US to call this out and demand common sense geometrical and geographical standards and make Federal Law for redrawing the most bizarre and oddly shaped U.S. Congressional Districts and never again allow one political party, set themselves up for permanant domination through blatent, convoluted, oddly shaped, gerrymandering.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christine Hemenway Mingo
